%X The algebra is developed for matrices involved in 2(2j+ I)-component arbitrary spin equations. These matrices can act as generators for the unitary group, and are shown to deserve the name 'generalized Pauli spin matrices'. Their commutation and anticommutation rules are derived from those for the ordinary Pauli spin matrices by a method termed mixed induced multiplication.
